I am deeply amazed by this book, while only on page 131. Coincidentally, last night I heard Allan Johnson speak on race and the concept of systemic perpetuations of power over/exclusion of "the other," including the example of films that diminish the characters of "non-whites" - so precisely depicted in your interchange between the narrator and the film director. Are you aware of Johnson's writings?

Congratulations, professor :) I am Vietnamese-American and honestly have very mixed-up feelings about how much attention we should pay to race and the stories of where we came from. But it is so great to see someone like you winning a Pulitzer. I will definitely be reading your book! ?
